When I asked wives about what they wish they could tell their husbands, they naturally expressed their longings, and they did so with much certainty and confidence. However, when I asked husbands the same question, I was stumped - I got no answers. I thought I would get something out of my husband, but he just responded with a shrug and a do-not-ask-me-‘cause-there-is-nothing look!

Come to think of it, this kind of reaction from the male species should not surprise me anymore.  It only magnifies the differences between men and women in terms of their needs and in their manner of expressing themselves.  While women are so comfortable in expressing their feelings and longings, men, on the contrary, lack adeptness in their emotionality and seem to have difficulty labeling their needs.  While wives can speak of feelings, men prefer discussing the facts.

Since the men I asked clammed up, here are some things that they probably wish to tell their partners, from a woman’s point of view:

1.    "Straight to the point, please!"
 “I thought you were telling me about your trip to the grocery, what does that have to do with the doctor’s schedule?” Women discuss their lives like it was a salad; everything is tossed together in a bowl.  One minute she’s talking about one topic, and before you know it she has moved on to the next without putting a period to her statements. Wives’ ability to multitask may be partly to blame why they ramble on and unload these thoughts altogether. Men can get frustrated when listening to this hodgepodge, since men’s thoughts, unlike the woman’s salad, are like a compartmentalized Japanese bento box.
